Perturbed mitochondrial dynamics is a novel feature of colitis that can be targeted to lessen disease.
Abstract
Mitochondria exist in a constantly remodelling network, and excessive fragmentation can be pathophysiological. Mitochondrial dysfunction can accompany enteric inflammation, but any contribution of altered mitochondrial dynamics (i.e. fission/fusion) to gut inflammation is unknown. We hypothesised that perturbed mitochondrial dynamics would contribute to colitis.
